In a senior role, you'll spend more time working with people who aren't developers. PMs, designers, managers, etc. In your first few weeks, book a little bit of time to meet them. They'll appreciate the forwardness, you'll quickly expand your network in the company, and it can be the start of a good working relationship that pays off 3-6 months later.
Yeah this is the biggest difference imo. You have to play the game at the senior+ level, that means no more just doing tasks and then sitting back. You have to reach out to people and schedule meeting, you have to be speak up during team meetings, you have to do tech talks and demos.
Upper management has no idea what anyone is doing, they will make layoff/promotion decisions that seem insane from the ground floor, so make yourself visible. I legit am still at my current role because of one demo I did that caught the CTOs eye. I was demoing something that took me maybe ~2 days and was relatively minor in my teammates eyes, but it got my name on his radar so I made the cut.

> "environmental factors are are believed to play the biggest role in IQ score differences."
That is false. [1] IQ has an interesting characteristic in that at young age environmental factors play a slightly larger role than genetics in IQ but as the child reaches their late teens their IQ becomes determined primarily by genetics. This is also to say that while a child may outperform against another child at a younger age, due to environmental factors -- if this comparison, even between the same people, was done at a later age then the result would generally be primarily determined by genetics. In other words the gains (or deficits) experienced in childhood do not carry on to adulthood - as counter intuitive as that may be.
> "IQ testing was invented by a certain demographic and as you would expect works best on people that take the test which fall under that demographic."
Comparing the IQ of nations is extremely difficult and plagued by a number of possible confounding variables. So that has to be taken into consideration, but nonetheless the majority of data that is available contradicts what you're saying. IQ testing was developed in Europe/England. It tends to be Asian nations that score the highest on IQ exams. I'm not linking to any particular source here since so far as I know this is completely fundamental - any source would verify as much including the one in the post I'm responding to.
This is not at all "well known". Well, at least I don't know that. I haven't read the study yet, but it's based on a survey on Mensa members, so probably only representative of Mensa members.
I've been working on a similar project lately which also uses the gorilla/websocket library. I just tested connecting 1500 connections in parallel like was done in this link for Raspchat, and my application only uses 75 MB along with all other overhead within it. I'm not sure how this would cause a Raspberry Pi with 512MB memory to thrash and come to a crawl unless Raspchat has a ton of other overhead outside of connection management.
Problem: No way to virtualize surround sound in headphones exists without paying a subscription fee or using expensive proprietary hardware (looking at you Dolby..)
Project: A few friends and I are working on an open source project to virtualize surround sound in stereo with any .mp4 movie with 5.1 channel surround sound. Any CIPC HRTF can be used so that the user has the best experience possible :)
